Christmas 2009

We are very lucky to have family close by. We did our traditional gingerbread houses. Each year gets better and better. After 34 years of practice, Adam still wows us.

Student of the Month - Dec 16,2009

Yeah! He is a good kid, and I have proof. Nathan is the kind of kid that spends playtime on the wall on occasion. And I have heard more than once, I can't help it he was talking to me first.

I am very proud of you!

Oh Nathan!!

Nathan is my child that takes 30 minutes to get dressed, and 20 to brush his teeth. Of course we were running behind getting ready for church, when Nathan comes down stairs like this. I couldn't yell. I wanted to cry, but instead got the camera. You are a special boy Nate!

Joshua's Baptism - Dec 5,2009

Joshua's Baptism was very special to me. He had been looking forward to it for a long time. I'm not exactly sure why. Because when you ask him, he doesn't really have an answer. But it is the right thing to do, so why not. Then after he was baptized during his confirmation. He looked at me with tears in his eyes. I knew he felt the spirt that was so strong. And knew exactly why we get baptized. Afterward he came to me and gave me the biggest hug, and didn't let go. Josh has a special spirit and I know Heavenly Father is proud of him.

Going to the Zoo

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Nathan's field trip. I followed (chased)a group of 5 year olds around the zoo for several hours. All while they talked about poop and butts the entire time. I did love spending time with Nathan, and was so proud of him for letting the bird sit on him and feed him. (One of my phobias)

Joshua's Birthday- Nov. 15, 2009

Josh was disappointed to miss out on the raingutter ragatta in scouts this year. So we just had our own for his birthday. All his friends were given boat kits as invitations, then showed up for the race. That lasted all of 30 minutes then we played balloon games. We love you Josh.

November Swimming

So, it is getting that cold time of year in the valley. The time that you put an extra blanket on the bed, when you actually wear pants. The time you go swimming,,,,???? Well, that is what the boys thought would be a good idea to do today.
